MARINE REVIEW. 19 Notes from Lake Ship Yards and Engine Works. One of the whaleback tow barges included in the list of new vessels was launched on Saturday last but will not go into commission, of course, until next season. : The steamer William B. Morley, built at Marine City which is now on her first trip, is practically a part of the one nage to be credited to the additions to the lake fleet next spring but she is not included in the list. ie The Selwyn Eddy, "straight back" steamer building at the Wyandotte yard of the Detroit Dry Dock Company, will not be launched on Saturday as was expected. Capt. Thomas Wilson and others of the Wilson Transit Company, Cleveland, have purchased from the Cleveland Ship Building Company the large freight steamer of monitor type, upon which work was begun recently. As shown in the list of new vessels this steamer is 340 feet over all, and is expected to carry 3,600 tons. She will have triple expansion engines and two boilers of Scotch type. 5. F. Hodge & Co. of Detroit are just finishing work on ma- chinery of the second car ferry building at Toledo for service on Lake Michigan in connection with the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan Railway, and will shortly begin shipping to West Superior the machinery for the new world's fair passenger boat building at the yard of the American Steel Barge Company. The Cleveland Ship Building Company is well along with work on the contract for six boilers, smoke stack and furnaces for the same boat. 'The smoke stack is 11 feet in diameter. In nearly all of the big steamers of which detail is given the power will be furnished by triple expansion engines. The engines of the world's fair boat, building by S. F. Hodge & Co: of Detroit for the American Steel Barge Company, will have cylinders 26, 42 and 70 inches by 42-inch stroke and will develop 3,000 horse power, while the twin sets for the Great Northern passenger steamers, being built by the Globe company, of Cleveland, will develop 6,o00 horse power each. The beam engine for the Niagara Navigation Company's sidewheel steamer, which is being built by the Hamilton Lridge Company, will be furnished by the W. & A. Fletcher Co. of New York.
